According to reports, the U.S. Army are building a new military base in Anbar province.
Khalil Serfan, an official from the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces, told the Arabic service of Russia’s Sputnik news agency that the base will be constructed in the vicinity of al-Qa'im town, situated almost 400 kilometers northwest of the capital Baghdad.
The construction of such a military site, situated near the Syrian border, in a strategically important region stands in line with US bids to assert its military presence in the region.
